[CMake] Somehow making life easier with wxWidgets ...

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi Werner,

sorry I missed your original post. It is worth looking at to see if we
can produce some kind of CMake friendly script. I'm however not sure
what the best way is to solve this the most user friendly way to only
let the user determine which config he would like for his generated
project. I am not sure how wxconfig now handles multiple builds, if a
user builds all projects in the wxWidgets project file (DLL / static,
debug / release or unicode / ansi) I don't know how to let the user
decide which build to use without hacking the CMakeLists.txt provided
with the source that needs to be built.

Regards,
- Jorgen
